Thank you very much for your keen observations and comments. On behalf of entire authors team, I would like to appreciate your interest to go through the article and bringing up such an important comment.
In this article titled 'Does choosing Microfluidics for sperm sorting offer an advantage to improve clinical pregnancies in donor egg recipients?' published in the journal of human reproduction in the August issue, we considered biochemical pregnancy rates, clinical pregnancy rates and miscarriage rates as the final outcomes to compare the outcome of two different sperm processing techniques. Ours is a tertiary standalone fertility centre where we monitor the patients till Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies scan after embryo transfer. Later the patient is referred to obstetrician of their choice for delivery. For this reason, we restricted the final outcome till clinical pregnancy which is clearly mentioned in the article. We agree with the reviewer's point that ongoing pregnancy rates and live birth rates would have given further scope for keen analysis. We will consider the suggestion and follow this in our future communications.
Yes! Microfluidics cannot process the larger volume of semen samples. In our study, all the cases were done by ICSI; hence, the issue of volume does not arise here.
